Dating from 1906 and originally constructed as a prestigious 100 room cliffside hotel, Cliff House sits in a conservation area.
Due to permitted development rights, the restoration needed to remain as sympathetic as possible to the former property in order to retain the building’s original features including the original sash windows.
Mercury Glazing manufactured and supplied 204 windows for the sympathetic landmark refurbishment of Cliff House, a former iconic hotel in Felixstowe, into 24 one and two-bedroom luxury seaside apartments.
The twelve-month project involved the manufacture and supply of 204 bespoke windows which included a mixture of arched top vertical sliders, bowed vertical sliders, circular windows and standard vertical sliders.
Paul Whyman of Dragon Wood Homes said: “Due to the age of the building and differing window styles needed, we needed to work with a fabrication partner who could deliver the bespoke energy-efficient windows needed while achieving the right balance from a conservation point of view. Mercury Glazing are an established specialist fabricator and as such, their products combined with the cutting-edge technology delivered by Spectus more that met these exacting standards. The quality of the products was superb and we are delighted with the overall high-quality result.”
